Daniel Price

 

 

Dan Price came to Peabody in the fall of 2006 from Chantilly, Virginia, where he studied trombone with Brian Keegan and Kathy Van Horne and attended Westfield High School.  At Peabody he is in his fourth year in the undergraduate program in Performance/Recording Arts and Sciences.  His trombone is a Getzen Custom Series with a Denis Wick 3AL mouthpiece.  He is a member of the Peabody Wind Ensemble and the Trombody Peabones and he has performed with a trombone quartet and several brass quintets.   Dan's musical interests are often guided by a search for unusual, aesthetically pleasing harmonies, and groovy rhythms, regardless of genre or era.  His engineering credits include recording the Chamber Orchestra of Mount Vernon, directed by George Wiese, and assisting in the recording of a new work by composer Michael Hersch.

 

 

 

 
Frances Yu
 

 

Entering Peabody in the fall of 2009, Frances Yu is a first year performance major at the Peabody Institute. She moved to Baltimore from Hong Kong where she lived for sixteen years and attended Hong Kong International School, where she studied trombone with Timothy Gavlik and Ben Pelletier. She started her musical studies on the violin at age five, but decided that trombone was more the instrument for her and has decided to pursue it as her profession. She enjoys playing in ensembles whether they are large wind ensembles, trombone choirs, or trombone or brass small ensembles. She plays a Bach tenor trombone, with a Vincent Bach 6 ½ AL Mouthpiece. Her goal is to be able to play in a group for others to listen to and maybe be inspired to play an instrument as she was. Having lived in Hong Kong most her life, outside of music, Frances enjoys going outside and exploring city life, and walking around outdoors. As for music, Frances has an open mind about music and enjoys listening to most kinds of music, anything with a good melody.  At Peabody she is a member of the Peabody Wind Ensemble and the Tombody Peabones.
